There is a steep learning curve when you're first starting out (as a provider OR client), and there are no shortcuts to the knowledge that diligent research will bring. Keep an eye on this forum in particular, as well as the general discussion board, and look for other message boards (especially if you can find some focused on your area) for varied perspectives.
As Ashley said, STAY ON YOUR GUARD. Most of the men you meet will be good guys who just want some fun and attention, but there are those out there who prey on new ladies (and misguided law enforcement officers who are confused about what you're selling). In addition to getting photos up and (if at all possible) a web site, figure out what YOU want to know for screening clients and be a stickler about it. Decide what your emotional/personal info and physical boundaries are before you meet your first client, and don't allow anyone to "persuade" you into bending them. Your mind/personal life and body, your rules. Always. If someone makes you uncomfortable, listen to your gut and don't meet/leave. No amount of money is worth your life, safety, and peace of mind.
If you don't get the business you'd hoped for right away, stay patient. This looks like fast, easy money, but it is the exact opposite. Like starting any new business, it takes time and a lot of effort to get it off the ground. The link below has a lot of very good marketing advice.
If you find after doing research you have more questions, this is the board to post them to.
Welcome and good luck.
